The face of the river, in time, became a wonderful book . . . which told its mind to me without reserve, delivering its most cherished secrets as clearly as if it had uttered them with a voice.
-- Mark Twain

God bless America! Too bad we the people who inspired so many with our stand for freedom and equality have fallen into subservience to the greed and tyranny of financial elites, a government that spies on us and a military that bullies and destroys innocent civilians around the globe for profit and dominance. On this anniversary of the birth of our esteemed country, my favorite trends forecaster Gerald Celente offers a few choice words to all the “two-bit freaks” running the show these days, as well as some practical advise for restoring the country to greatness. The power is in our own hands. Let the revolution begin with each of us.

1. Grass Roots – Let it begin with each of us strengthening physically, emotionally and spiritually.

2. Buy Local – Get everything you can that has been produced within your immediate community.

3. Break the Chains – Do not continue to support the corrupt system (the chain stores have you!).

4. The Golden Rule – Do unto others as you would have done unto yourself.

The American Revolution began with fewer than 1% of people supporting it, and at it’s height only about 5% of people were actively participating in it. It takes only a very few to change the whole game. Happy Fourth of July!
